L’Impartial

Sylvie Balmer

This is a report by journalist Sylvie Balmer, who was on the ground at the Le Locle campsite, where many Spaniards were occupying caravans in the hope of finding work in Switzerland. While it was not possible to obtain figures, as this workforce was undocumented, their testimony helped shed light on the delicate situation facing this population.
